Dogs just want to hump, why run away?...

[schimpans]

its rather scary to see that numerous bikers have faced (apprantly) the same pack of dogs@ changi coastal area.

i went today(on road) and saw the dogs again but this time they were on the outskirts of the area near the road . i also saw another dog on the 7km stretch itself
but really,if i see dogs chasing me and are within 1m of my leg,i should just dismount?

what will they do if i dismount??

me and hisbabyf once rode pass a construction site at Sengkang. a small little dog was just walking around outside the entrance. we rode past the entrance and the dog started to chase us.

the dog started to chase me as i was the nearer target. it finally gave up its chase after a 20 sec sprint.

according to hisbabyf, the dog ran like 30km/h+ (from wad i remember) XD

just call the cops and inform them of wild dogs causing threat to public. They will have to take action.

Then again, i have never seen any dog on coastal road. Are you on the PCN or the road?

Haha... reminds me of the time i was in Pulau Ubin... i thought wild boar chasing me... pedaled lyk mad down the trail... lucky it was the downhill section... if uphill i cannot make it... my frens waiting at the end of the trail scared the animal by throwing sticks and stones at it... turned out to be a black dog...

Alex is right, I had similar incident before, u cannot ride faster coz they will chase u, u can come down from ur bike, turn ard and start chasing them. I tell u, 100% they will run away from U.

Alternative, take off one of your shoe and pretend u wan to throw at them, they will run away faster than u thought.

I do this everytime I encounter such situation, let me assure u, the dog scare of u more than u scare of them

Last night was having a solo ride to CV. Just opposite of the big temple at Loyang, there was a pack of 4-5 dogs mulling by the road side. I spotted them about 1.5 car length away and had moved about 1 car width out to the center of the road. Then this one dog, the leader I suppose, spotted me and is just starting to sprint towards me. That moment, my reflex took over and let out a pretty fierce "bark" back at it. It sort of shocked, then turned and the whole pack ran in the other direction. And I continued my ride towards CV.

Never had problems with stray dogs, maybe because I have doggie smell on me. I have 3 med size mongrels. Near the sand quarry at Punggol Barat I was surrounded by a bunch of about 10 dogs that suddenly appeared, they were running beside my bike, but from their bark, it's more like 'Hello, watcha doing here?' They were not aggressive barking. There was no attempt to bite although they were only a few feet away. Just rode normal, but my two other friends chickened out and u-turn.

One rule:
If a dog is gonna bite...u won't hear it barking.
